Facing Truths About Population Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Populations of wildlife, and domestic animals have large sinks for surplus animals. By contrast, zoos don't. Humans in industrialized societies are socialized with companion animals, i.e. surplus (i.e., typically denied reproduction) originating from unseen breeding cores.

Influences Which Affect Reproductive Characters of Sows in Studied Reproductive Breeding

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016
The aim of the study was to evaluate influences which affect reproductive characters of sows in chosen reproductive breeding. These reproductive traits of sows were studied: number of all, live born and weaned piglets, losses from live born piglets till ...

Distribution and aetiology of valvular endocarditis in suckling and weaned piglets in Serbia

, 2020
There are limited data available in the literature about the frequency and distribution of endocarditis in suckling and weaned piglets. The goal of this study was to investigate the frequency and distribution of lesions from cases of spontaneous valvular

Adjusting Our Thinking About Feeding Animals: Fiber as the Metric for Mimicking Natural Diets

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A typical effect of the change of an animal group to a diet higher in fiber: juveniles keep growing, animals of ideal body weight maintain their weight, and obese individuals lose weight. ABSTRACT Free‐ranging animals often ingest markedly different diets than their counterparts under human care, whether companion animals, production animals, or zoo ...

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation in Tibetan Sheep

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
SNaPshot‐validated GWAS results demonstrated significant correlations between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and body size traits in Tibetan sheep. Concurrently, hematoxylin and eosin staining, alongside muscle fiber analysis, confirmed pronounced morphological differences in muscle tissue between sheep of varying conformation.

Effect of different protein sources on growth performance and health status of piglet

Siliao yanjiu, 2022
The experiment was to investigate the effect of different protein in feed on growth and health of weaned piglets. 108 35-day-old weaned piglets were selected, and randomly divided into four groups according to their body weight and gender, with four ...

Plasma Cortisol and Behaviour in Early Weaned Piglets

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1980
Comparisons were made of Cortisol concentration and behavioural activity between piglets weaned at 3 weeks of age (early weaned piglets), and piglets weaned at 8 weeks of age (control piglets). Early weaned littermates were placed in cages with a floor area of either 0.20 m2 per piglet or 0.15 m2 per piglet.

The Company We Keep: Effects of Different Social Environments on Male Guinea Pig Behaviour and Hormones Over the Course of the Ontogeny

Ethology, EarlyView.
To examine how their behaviour and hormones change over different life phases, male guinea pigs experienced two different social environments from juvenility to adulthood. Only one environment contained social stimulation by unfamiliar conspecifics. Although no differences in testosterone and cortisol concentrations were found, it was interesting that ...

From Social Experience to Social Behaviour: Hormonal and Behavioural Phenotypes During Adolescence in Male Guinea Pigs

Ethology, EarlyView.
To investigate how different social environments during adolescence influence hormones and behaviour, adolescent male guinea pigs were pair‐housed with a female either with or without additional social stimulation through repeated brief encounters with unfamiliar conspecifics.
